Island focus: Jokowi appoints new advisors

P

resident Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has appointed four new staff members to his administration through a presidential decree, said Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung.

They are Adita Irawati, the former corporate communications vice president for state-owned communications firm Telkomsel, Abdul Ghofar Rozin, the son of Nahdlatul Ulama senior cleric Mohammad Ahmad Sahal Mahfudz, Siti Ruhaini Dzuhayatin, the former commissioner of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission, and Ahmad Erani Yustika, the former director general at the Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Ministry .

“They have started working and yesterday they coordinated with the state secretary and me because managerial administration [duties] fall under the Cabinet secretary,” Pramono said on Tuesday.

Adita’s task, he added, was to revamp outdated public relations systems at ministries and state institutions by promoting content-making through social media.

Abdul was appointed to assist the President during domestic religious events, such as when Jokowi meets with ulema on visits to Islamic boarding schools.

Siti, with her background in religious issues and human rights, was assigned to assist Jokowi with international religious issues.

Ahmad would assist Jokowi in developing economic policies, given his expertise in village funds, Pramono said.

This brings the number of Jokowi’s staff members to 10. The other six are Johan Budi, Ari Dwipayana, Lenis Kogoya, Sukardi Rinakit, Gories Mere and Diaz Hendropriyono.
